Mission Statement:

We personally severely dislike reddit and everyone who frequents it. We believe it's a shitty, destructive echo chamber that does much more public harm than anything 4chan has ever done. We think it discourages communication and encourages passive, addict-like consumption. We are making reddit worse as a public service, hopefully driving you people away from this toxic, horrible website.

Actually witnessed uncle use the gasoline method, it worked. Seemed dull at the time but looking back he mass murdered an entire colony. The Delaware of the wasp world was burned down and no one batted an eye.

There is not pesticide like gasoline. I had a hornet's nest at the back of my house, near the spigot. I discovered it when the bastards stung me. I made many trips to the store using different pesticides. They kept appearing. Finally, I took my lawn mower gas can and, in frustration, emptied it into the nest. I never saw them since. I did not light it.

PS: The lawnmower blades will most likely not kill the wasps as they are very light weight, and will just get tossed out the deck opening to probably sting anon....

Your lawnmower post script is correct. I parked my riding mower on top of a yellow jacket nest and watched them come out of the discharge. I didn't know the location of their nest before doing this, by the way (I'm stupid, but not that stupid.) I consider myself lucky that only 5 of the little fuckers stung me.

I am with this guy. In my experience of landscaping for a few summers, nothing worked as good as pouring some good ole' petroleum down into the nest. No flame necessary. Also have tried the "run the Xmark right over the hole and hit that fucking switch" method. Just pissed them off, and I got stung on the hand, twice.

FUCK THAT, HERE IN TEXAS WE STICK A 12 GAUGE WITH DRAGONS BREATH ROUNDS OVER THE ENTRANCE AND FIRE AWAY, THEN WE DRIVE OUR 10 TON DUELIES ON TOP OF THE ENTRANCE AND USE OUR DUMP TRUCK TIER WHEELS TO DIG UP ANY REMAINING FUCK-WIPES.

EDIT: WE ALSO PUT CANNISTERS OF TANNERITE ON THE NESTS AND SHOOT IT! GOT DAMN TEXAS

A few years ago my uncle had some problems with masonry bees. He decided to tackle the problem head on. Armed with a can of petrol, a net curtain and a pair of marigold gloves, he set to work.

The bees had nested underneath a concrete paving stone in the back yard. My uncles plan was simple but effective, pour petrol down the hole, then set those black and yellow bastards alight. He donned his marigolds and wrapped the net curtain around his head. Feeling suitably defended, he began pouring petrol into the nest. Unfortunately, the net provided little in terms of visibility, so he was unsure how much petrol was in the hole. He decided that in this situation it was better to have too much than too little, (who wants a team of semi burned bees attacking them, right?) and emptied the majority of the can into the nest leaving himself enough to make a little trail to use as a fuse.

The bees has began to leave the nest to investigate who was stupid enough to fuck with their nest. He knew it was now or never. He set fire to the small fuse. Unfortunately, he had grossly underestimated the amount of petrol he had used, flames the size of the two story house erupted from the small opening and propelled him across the yard with his net curtain helmet on fire.

My uncle got away relativity unscathed, he had a few minor burns to his face and he was missing parts of his hair and eyebrows but he was happy. Those buzzing bastards were all dead. He sits now, in his old age, retelling the story of the backyard bee war to astounded listeners everywhere.

Reminds me of a story I read about some guy throwing a mouse he caught into a a fire that was burning outside, for some reason... Maybe burning leaves . The mouse of course ignited, but then he ran back into the house and burned it all down.

It could end up shooting fire out of a secondary hole or burning your lawn. If you don't care about your lawn burning, go ahead, just remember to be safe and watch out for secondary holes. The gasoline should be toxic enough on its own to kill them all anyway.

Me and my friends used to use those little smoke bombs to fumigate ant hills. We'd light them, then when the fuse was done we'd stick it over the hole. It'd come out all the other holes too, it was pretty fun.

As much as I love the USA, we have lost 2 wars. The War of 1812 (our president was crazy, and our wants of more land made that war happen), and the Vietnam War. That one was lost due to us saying "Fuck it. We don't wanna do this any more! Go ahead and Southern Vietnam."

We declared war on the British because they were Shanghaiing Americans for the war effort against Napoleon. After the war, they kept doing it. America pretty much lost. It showed the world that America was a young country with a weak and immature military unable to project power even into a neighbor whose colonial patron was involved in the biggest war in centuries on another continent.

Well, the War of 1812 was more of a stalemate than a defeat. The US began to turn the tide by 1814 and Britain was very war-weary after exiling Napoleon.

Despite early losses along the eastern seaboard and in Canada, American forces under Commodore Perry defeated the British navy on the Great Lakes to stymie the invasion from the north. This helped reclaim Detroit under the invading force of William Henry Harrison, who decimated Tecumseh's forces and effectively broke the Indian confederation.

While lands were constantly lost and regained around the central-East Coast (not to mention the sacking of Washington), the British were finally repulsed at Plattsburg and Baltimore (from where we get our National Anthem).

It goes without saying that Andrew Jackson run roughshod over the Southern theatre, wiping out Indian forces from Tennessee to New Orleans. And then, despite the War officially ending (news of the Treaty of Ghent wasn't even close to reaching the battlefield), Jackson's undermanned and outgunned forces routed the invading British army of 8,000 at New Orleans in what is still possibly the greatest isolated American military victory.

So yeah, the White House got burned down and we lost parts of the North for months at a time, but Britain, finally done with the French, realized the US was getting its shit together as a viable military force and nope'd right the fuck back across the Atlantic.

And I'm supposed to be impressed? Son, I have sprayed more shit then you can count in all my life. I have shit on almost 5,000 people already and they call me the shadow shitter. Because I strike where you would least expect it. You wake up with a fresh welcoming smell of feces with a hint of meatloaf and you know it's me. You better sleep with your mouth shut and one eye open because the shitstorm is brewing in my bowels.

Poke it aggressively with a stick. This will disturb them and cause them to build a nest elsewhere, usually fly out straight away to do so for their queen so just keep poking away until you're sure they're all out.

Only real solution is to get naked and paint yourself yellow and black. Infiltrate them. Breed them out of existence. 200 years from now there will be no wasps, only OP/wasp hybrids, with you as their king.

And if you burn it up, they have absolutely none left to breathe. That's why in WWII and Vietnam we shoot the flamethrower around the cave openings. It sucks the oxygen right out and those inside are pacified.

I wonder if there is commercially available cordyceps fungus you could buy?

There is a do it yourself biological weapon technique that works for fire ants. You just get a glass jar and put some honey in it next to the nest. When there are a lot of ants in there, pour in boiling water to kill them, then seal and keep in a cool, dark place for a week or so, until there is a layer of fungus. Then you pour the mix onto the nest. It often takes out other nearby nests as well.

If you have fire ants, just curious, are crazy ants moving in as well? From some descriptions, people with crazy ants wish they had their fire ants back. Crazy ants are that annoying, even without biting.

The weirdest stories are from people with small dogs, that go out in their back yard and come back covered in crazy ants and hysterical, and have to have the ants washed off of them. Then refusing to go into the back yard again.

You could try poisoning them with alcohol. Here where I'm from, I'll just take hand sanitizers and all sorts of sanitizers and pour on damn colonies that invade me. Youll see them suffer. They all try to run but after a while they just get to drunk, fall and then die from alcohol poisoning. And apparently it hurts a lot for them insects

I would never use pesticides, and to be honest, fire seems beyond boring. I would try to get hold of some natural enemies of wasps or hornets. No idea if this means that I'd have another species to deal with afterwards, but at least I'll get to watch an apocalyptic war in my own backyard.
